So I finished the game after 47 days. Each location was around 80% looted except for the military outpost, which I tried attacking once but decided wasn't worth the risk. Around day 39 I had stockpiled so many supplies that I stopped going out to scavenge except to donate medicine to the hospital to help with some depression one of my characters suffered from killing the traders in the hotel. It was definitely worth the risk, because the supplies in the hotel could've kept me going for 20 days probably. The radio said it was towards the end of the war so I started giving everyone double food to get well-fed statuses, and burned through some supplies to make moonshine to get everyone drunk on their last nights. In the end, all my characters ended with the status 'well-fed, content, & drunk', which is pretty awesome. All in all I think I rolled a lucky game, because I had three really good characters (a cook, the trader, and the fast runner). I ended up taking in the lawyer girl but she didn't really do anything useful. My locations were also pretty lucky because most of the ones with variants were non-hostile traders instead of bandits. I really enjoyed the game and thought it was difficult without bringing along the typical frustration and countless redo's of roguelike games. There's also an option to set your own specific details for the roll, such as characters and locations, and that's a feature I've never seen in these games. On a relative scale I'd give it a 9/10 because it's really fun, addictive, and challenging, but it's also very repetitive in the first half.
Scavenging in rebel areas is pretty fun with the right weapons. I generally take a firearm and a knife. If you hide in the shadows and sneak attack someone it's generally an insta-kill.It's a great game. Challenging without being frustrating.

Challenging without being frustrating.I'm still a bit confused about the characters' personal traits. I thought the lawyer girl was supposed to be more resilient to negative effects from stealing, so I used her to steal everything from the hospital, but she still got sad from it. I don't have any firearms yet; did you make them, or just find them somewhere?
I'm finding it pretty easy to just bait people into walking in front of a hiding spot and knifing them. What do you do to stealthily kill people with armor, though?
It sounds interesting but the title makes me want to kill myself
